We spoke, we listened, we learned

And did we have fun? oh yes!

This meeting treated us to a tutorial session on constructing a speech from a very experienced and professional speaker. A member took up the challenge to demonstrate how to deliver the speech we all contributed to create. We then all enjoyed a humor speech which was cleverly constructed speech in response to one of the speeches from the last meeting!

We also welcomed 3 more new members to the club and they all did a great job in delivering their first topic. The meeting in my mind was a great success and great start to the new speaking year. Roll on October!

Sucessful First Meeting

Our opening meeting on the 14th September was a total success. We welcomed 6 new members starting their journey towards speaking excellence. It was great to see past members again after the summer break and to hear at least a few words from everybody. Although it was the first meeting we had three terrrific speeches from our more experienced speakers. We heard an interesting plea for holidaying at home, the tale of the little voice in our ears, and the adventures of a novice sea captain. Something to look forward to at the next meeting is a response to this last speech! I will not spoil the surprise. An all inclusive topics session set at just the right level for every speaker concluded our evening. Croydon speakers is going from strength to strength and has already set the standards that others can only dream about. Come along as our guest and see for yourself.

New Season starting on 14th September 2009

Welcome to the first piece of news for the new season. The news tailed off at the end of last season. Not because there wasn't any, in fact the reverse was true. One of our members was the National Final runner up in a competion, another a regional finalist in a different competition, a previous club president was awarded both the Masterpiece and Advanced certificates and the news rolled on! In the excitement we forget to write about it all. We will do better this year. We have a new club president and some new blood on the committee. one or two have left, two or three have joined and the club retains its position as being a strong force for better speaking. In fact, in the immediate area there is no better club for enjoying the art of speaking in public. New members are always welcome and all you need to do is turn up at 8.00pm on the meeting dates. We will look forward to meeting you. Whether you want to enjoy social speaking, enhance your business speaking skills or merely find something really interesting to do as a hobby twice a month, you will be made to feel very welcome. Take a look around the website and then join us for the new season. Best wishes, Ian.
